The point of image inversion isn't to make them dark per-se. It's because a black UI icon on a black background is poorly visible. That's why it has a size limit, and also why there's a separate mode for images with transparency - a small and partially transparent image is most likely a UI element.

I found this flag 3 years ago and tried to make it work for a year, it was never a complete solution, then changed to my previous solution, a combination of extensions, a generic dark mode extension that has the ability to be enabled or disabled by url and then an extension that injects CSS based on url matching as well. I'm a web developer so this is relatively easy to me. the only place where it is useful to have this feature enabled is to edit all the chrome protected sites from extensions.

One reason that I prefer this setting compared to Dark Reader, is that because this setting is native in the browser, it can also invert extension pages and internal pages and menus of the browser. That helps a lot because I have some extensions that don't support dark mode.

I've used this a lot. Here are my notes. 1. Not sure if this has been fixed, but in older versions, turning this on would force all sites to render in light mode, and then it would invert them. This means sites that support dark mode will not render normally. Though to be fair the differences are hardly noticeable most of the time. I don't know if it is intentional or not. It could be done to avoid accidentally inverting dark sites by just inverting the light version instead. 2. Very confusing if you're a web developer and don't realize it is active on your pages. I set the color to white why is it black?!? This doesn't make any se... WAITAMINUTE. 3. Last I checked KZitem's background for the player controls turns white which is annoying and makes the text on it difficult to read. 4. Some sites just don't work well (at least with the default of Enabled) which is unfortunate. It tries its best, but it wants to avoid inverting photos and only invert images that are used to style a website. This is very difficult to do and it's not surprising it has problems. As you noted one of the factors used is the size of the image. I used to use it for years but the problems eventually led me to turn it off, usually because it interfered with my web development efforts. This happened TWICE (see 2 above). Also the "Default" option for flags means "Controlled by Google". Google often does A/B testing by enabling features for a group of users to see how it affects their experience. If it has the desired effect they may move on to a larger group and eventually enable it for everyone. This is a great way to test features that may not be feasible to test on many different system configurations or with a large number of users pressuring an online system at once. Of course, they do the best testing they can in-house before then, I'm sure. This feature despite being in Chrome for years is probably not at that point though. I would expect upon enabling it a UI for temporarily disabling it or turning it on or of entirely and I don't think there is one. So it doesn't have that polish that would signal Google is ready to start wider deployment beyond flags. Also the shortcut you made won't do anything if Chrome is already running. You might want to actually add that --restart flag in to force it to restart and apply the flags. Likewise the normal Chrome shortcut won't turn off the flags if Chrome is already running. This is easiest to accidentally run into if you keep Chrome running in the system tray when all windows are closed (because you have an extension that supports that.)

Love the tutorial but either Chrome or Windows 11 are not loving this idea... You have the ability to create the shortcut but windows and chrome will not let you create a new product no matter the process executed in your guide. The OS and browser see the shortcut created as a bookmark with a different icon at initial launch but then it shuts the shortcut down and removes what it believes as malware or security risk. Windows definitely wiped away any evidence of my new dark shortcut after crashing [Sidenote... We were previously able to execute this same process to make a permanent shortcut for incognito before the public rollout of the new context menu for Windows 11. In that process you made a shortcut from right click on the browser, pinning to task bar and finally going into properties and adding the word incognito to the end of the command line. It was convenient but short lived].
